View Poll Results: Could America face a major terrorist attack from ISIS in the next year?

I think if anything our war on terror has shown that when you uproot one group three more takes it's place and the group continually learn new tactics. The root problem is there's a lot of demented people in this world that are willing to die for their fairy tale.

Re: Could America face major ISIS attacks soon?

Yeah its sad that so many people in this thread want to attack a group halfway around the world just because they practice a different religion. Talk about international intolerance.

Here in America people protest the Ten Commandments posted anywhere including private property, want Christmas trees removed because they are offensive, want any mention of God removed from songs and the Pledge of Allegiance and suspend children for praying in school. But let some Islamist radicals behead, bury alive and terrorize people and they are just practicing their religion?

They beheaded an American hostage because we bombed them. If we start bombing the protesters who are against religion in the US do you think they wont fight back?

The guy has been missing for a year or so. I believe he was a pawn, held for such an opportunity. I also think there is a good chance they did not actually behead him. Unless there is a more complete video, they cut away and then showed the after picture of a surprisingly clean body in an orange tunic. Anyone who has actually butchered a 200 pound animal knows that there is a LOT of blood, and he would have been alive at the time so it would have been pumping. The last hog we cleaned, even after being heart shot and transported, absolutely washed the driveway with blood when we cut it. Blood is also very pervasive in that the head would still have leaking on to the back of the body, which was not evidenced in the picture. Beyond that, there have still been hundreds if not thousands killed in other ways from beheaded, crucified on a cross and buried alive. Beheading children is not a religion expression, it is psychopathic behavior.
